Wow this guy sounds really old school. I think that's great to be able to financially support your partner while they're in school if you're able to, I'd love to be able to help out my girlfriend financially in that way if I were able...but to
expect it?? How old does he think you are anyways? I don't know too many guys in their mid-20's that have banked up enough cash to be able to afford sending their girlfriends off to college. That's ridiculous.
Rube I'm kind of in the same boat with my girl's dad, he's a pretty old school guy himself. We went out for a wedding in Kelowna for one of their relatives and he had me on the couch while she shared a bed with her sister. I thought it was kinda stupid, but I just went along with the program, it was only for a couple nights. Sometimes you just gotta suck it up on those types of things, unfortunately.
Over-all by the sounds of it I think your philosophical differences are simply too vast, I'm not sure you'll ever have an overly great relationship. It's unfortunate but it happens. In the end he'll probably never agree with your anti-marriage stance, but as long as you treat her right and you have a good relationship, that should be enough and he should be content in the fact that his daughter is happy.
